The State of the U.S. Economy

Posted on by

It’s difficult to be optimistic when the economy is in shambles. The good news is, though, that the U.S. economy continues its sluggish recovery as things seem to be getting better compared to how they were just last year.

When it comes to U.S. economic growth, the recent cuts in government spending were probably the biggest drag responsible for the slow recovery.
On the bright side, in the first quarter of 2013 businesses spent more than normally on equipment and software, which boosted the economic growth considerably. This might be a temporary factor, but it is encouraging to see companies restocking their shelves and invest more in their inventories than usual.
According to the data released by the Commerce Department, consumer spending rose by 3.4% in the first quarter, making it the fastest increase in consumer activity since 2010. Consumer spending accounts for two thirds of the American GDP, so seeing it grow is a sign to rejoice. For example, the amount spent on household appliances and cars, which are classified as durable goods, rose by 8.1%.

Americans are also more willing to spend more on health care, auto sales, and various financial services that promote the growth of the economy.
Even though U.S. citizens seem to be spending more than ever on various services and goods, job growth continued at the same pace compared how it was in the last quarter of 2012.
Should we be optimistic about the growth of the GDP during the months to come? Since the sequester is taking effect as we speak, we can expect to see a slower growth in the U.S. economy during the second and third quarter of 2013, mostly due to the fact that government spending promotes economic boost. Let’s just hope that companies as well as individuals are going to spend their savings on goods and services at a similar pace as they were doing it during the first quarter of 2013.

My Experiences with Antrax

Posted on by

Recently, I have had an opportunity to experience something I have never experienced before. I am thinking here about applications such as Simbox and Antrax. Antrax is nothing else but an application that works to terminate voice traffic from Voice over IP to various networks of mobile operators. In other words, Antrax is great for effective call termination in small or large volumes.

Industrial Casters

Posted on by

Many manufacturing industries use equipment that can move loads up to 40,000 and sometimes even 50,000 pounds. Especially heavy-duty bins and dollies need wheels that can carry such extreme loads. These wheels are called industrial casters and are specially designed and made. They usually have a forged iron core and a plastic or rubber tire. Rubber is used when the factory floor is moist, since it provides grip and reduces noise. Phenolic resin is another material that works well for industrial casters, because it prevents oily substances from attaching to the wheel surface. Heavy-duty wheels also have to absorb shock, when extremely heavy loads get dropped onto the equipment. Industrial casters often go unnoticed, but they are an interesting and challenging area of engineering.

How to Save Money on Hosting

Posted on by

It is true that hosting a website doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive these days if you know where to and how to look for something that will be perfect for you. Below I am going to offer you a few important tips that are guaranteed to change your life forever and forever impact the way you see website hosting.

1. Go for shared hosting if this is what you want. If you don’t expect to receive a lot of traffic or if you are simply new to the world of website hosting, opt for the shared solution, which is usually a lot cheaper than the dedicated one.

2. Go for dedicated hosting if you expect to receive a lot of traffic. This might seem like a more expensive solution, but in the long run it pays off to pay for dedicated hosting if you expect many visitors to flock to your website. This will especially pay off if you plan to sell something on your website.

3. Take your time to look at various hosting plans. It is not a secret that there are dozens of various plans available on the Net these days. It might take you a while to finally find a plan that will be best in your case, but it is definitely worth the effort.

4. Always use coupon codes and vouchers. You can find them on the Internet very easily. All you need to do is to type the right combination of words in your search engine and you are ready to start your adventures with website hosting.

As you can clearly see, finding the right website hosting can be an enjoyable experience you might find interesting. Cherish your website and cherish every minute spent designing it.

Kids and Percussion

Posted on by

My kids are still small, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t plan ahead and try to image what they could do when they are older. I already planned to which school they are going to go, but one more thing I want to consider are their hobbies. It turns out that music is one of the best hobbies a child or teenager can have. This is why kids percussion is one of the top things I will want to check out this afternoon.

Thin-film growth

Posted on by

Thin-film production is one of the industries that have grown substantially in recent years. Thin-films are one of main components of semiconductor and photovoltaic devices such as LEDs and solar panels. In-line quality monitoring is a way to ensure consistent high-quality manufacturing and to lower production costs by eliminating waste.

One of the leading tools for monitoring thin-film growth rate is the kSA RateRat Pro. This optical metrology tool for thin-film characterization is being used by hundreds of research labs and production facilities worldwide. This bolt-on accessory uses a laser diode source in specular geometry and is placed outside the vacuum chamber.
